[Md-sligo] Sad News

[Deborah Brown]

We watched Destiny grow up and grow close to Janice.  We watched Destiny
adapt to Janice's hearing loss.  It would be nice if some humans were as
adaptable and accommodating as Destiny was.  I still have the plaque in my
house from the braile class attended by Janice, Helen, Elizabeth, and
Destiny.

Janice, Terry, Sophie and I are so very sorry for your loss.
Destiny was a great dog both as a guide and a faithful companion.
We love _her and _you dearly, and will always keep you both in our thoughts
and prayers.
May Destiny rest in perfect peace.
Henry, Terry and Sophie

I have sad news. Lydia and I had to make the decision to put Destiny
down.  Her cancer had spread to her stomach and she was in pain. Lydia
said with her and Destiny's head was in her lap when they gave her the
medicine to put her to sleep and then to slowly stop her heart.

I am thankful to God for having Destiny as a guide dog and the years of
faithful service and companionship she provided.  She became my eyes and
ears when out and about.  She was so intuitive, outgoing, gentle,
sweet.  I miss her terribly.  The decision for Lydia and Jim to care for
her in her retirement was a blessing to them and I am forever grateful
for their love, compassion and generosity that showed Destiny and
continue to show me now that she has died.

There are so many decisions and things to do for the Convention in a
little over a month but I am at a loss right now to do any of it.

Thank you for all your support and prayer my Sligo Family,
Janice
